AAAAUG WHY! [FUCKING RANT]

[Rob Oplawar]

It is 5:00 in the fucking morning. About an hour and a half ago my fucking leg started fucking twitching. It's just one fucking muscle, a muscle in my thigh just above the kneecap. It just twitches about one a second. The twitching woke me up. It hasn't fucking stopped since then. I HAVE FUCKING RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME!

Except this doesn't meet the clinical definition. It's just a fucking twitch.
JESUS CHRIST THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!
I want to fucking cut off my goddamn leg. I've tried damn near everything else. I tried walking around. I tried doing jumping jacks for 5 minutes. I tried beating the fuck out of my leg. I tried scalding my leg with fucking hot water. I tried holding a fucking bag of ice to my muscle until my skin burned from the cold.

Now my leg is tired, bruised, burnt, and frostbitten, and it's STILL FUCKING TWITCHING!

This is annoying the FUCK out of me!

The worst part is that it's my own goddamn muscle which is not at all essential to life unlike the heart and lungs, so why the FUCK can't I control this shit?! What the fuck is wrong with my goddamn nervous system that is causing my goddamn leg to spasm uncontrollably for going on 2 fucking hours nonstop in the middle of the fucking night when I'm trying to fucking sleep


AAAAAAAHHHH GODDAMMIT YOU FUCKING LEG STOP TWITCHING I'M TRYING TO FUCKING TYPE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE AAAAAAAAHHH

I mean jesus fucking christ on a fucking pony, that muscle is getting extremely sore! It's been twitching so much that I'm forming a cramp just from overexercising the goddamn thing! How the FUCK is this shit even POSSIBLE?!

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm ranting for the sake of ranting, but you try waking up at fucking 3 in the morning and realizing your leg is twitching, and feeling the same goddamn tugging poke in the same goddamn spot once every second for two fucking hours. I tried ignoring it. It is un-fucking-ignorable. I cannot sleep. This is the worst fucking form of insomnia I have ever experienced in my fucking life, and I've had some doozys- I've gone for days without sleeping in some cases. What the fuck am I supposed to do about a leg twitch?!

Well, actually, I'm going on the theory that if I take my mind off it long enough, say by distracting myself by focusing all attention on the task of, say, ranting my fucking ass off, it will eventually stop and I can finally go to bed. But I just ruined the whole fucking thing because while writing that I couldn't help but think of my fucking leg. It's like being told not to think of a hippo with a teacup- it can't be helped once the idea is in your head! And so of course the fucker is still twitching, so it looks like I'm gonna hafta rant some more.


Jesus crhist, god in heaven, make it stop, make it fucking stoooooooop. Science, oh great and holy science, do something, I'm begging you, offer me some respite from this dreadful affliction!

*breaks down into uncontrollable, unmitigated sobbing*

Admins, I don't care, lock this pointless thread, infract me for making such a massively worthless shitpost, I don't care. I am already suffering the worst fate known to man.


Oh jesus christ it's still twitching.

Brb, I'm gonna go jump off a fucking bridge.

Because it's 5 am. :downs:

Also, be glad it's not your whole body (it happens and you die).

hai now, no need to bring The Fox into this :-3

[Hotrod]

I think you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. Maybe he'll be able to cut it off

[AAA]

That shit happens to me too.

I just pretend it's predictable and I say "There goes another twitch." So then I make the muscle feel predictable and not wanna do it. =D

[Bastinka]

Ganja, the answer to all problems.

[STLRamsFan]

If it continues, just see a doctor. No need to jump off a bridge. :downs:

[blind]

You should exercise more often.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

If your willing to possibly lose some of your leg function, you could just put pressure on it *or tie a rope on it* relatively tightly, therefore the blood would stop passing to it *or atleast not as much* and cause it to fall asleep, then you could take it off, and if it still goes crazy well. U HAS AIDS LOL

[Botolf]

They're temptation twitches, trying to make you sin. Amputate and store in a cooler with dry ice until you can make an appointment with a priest.

[Llama Juice]

Less caffeine?

I used to get weird twitches back when I ate junkfood.. but now I just feel awesome. Granted, they weren't ever nearly as bad as what you're describing... except for like one day when I had like three or four energy drinks while trying to stay awake for final turnin for a project...

That's just me though.

[Gamerkd16]

I was going to suggest a myoclonic jerk, until I saw it was continuous.

[il Duce Primo]

If it continues, just see a doctor. No need to jump off a bridge. :downs:

But why, I mean... it's just Rob.
























:glomp:

[Rob Oplawar]

I've been sitting at my computer for a while now, thinking "jeez, my leg hurts, I wonder why", and then Apoc reminded me. Lol.

[Bodzilla]

well if you hadnt been stupid and beaten the fuck out of it you coulda just eased your troubles with Tf2.
give it an hour of puter games and soon you'll forget it was even twitching.

[Heathen]

I live with RLS. I don't see the big deal.

[Amit]

I live with RLS. I don't see the big deal.

REAL LIFE SYNDROME?:XD:

[Cortexian]

I've had something similar happen in my abs before, I thought it was quite amusing because it tickled...

:awesome:

Buy this. The twitching will stop in 5 minutes. If it doesn't, i give you permission to bitch at me as much as you want for three days.

[Rob Oplawar]

lol.

But actually, that gives me an idea. Next time I go to the grocery store (which is tomorrow cause I forgot the damned salad dressing) I'll pick up some fresh broccoli. Mmmmmm.

e: BTW, I've been really angry lately. I feel somewhat ashamed of myself. I mean, I just spent the last hour and a half yelling at people on xbox live. :saddowns: I gotta mellow out some.

[StankBacon]

lmfao.

"serenity now"

[Rob Oplawar]

I am peace, I am tranquility.

ommmmmmmm

Just be glad you don't get random charlie horses that wake you out of a sound sleep out of fucking NOWHERE about 4 hours before you're supposed to wake up and cramp for what feels like an eternity.

[Bad Waffle]

shit, i got one of those once. I didn't know what it was, and i seriously thought i had torn something.

[Con]

Look on the bright side, you're going to have one huge fucking muscle :haw:

[Kalub]

Lol, you guys remember the Guardian from Lady in the Water?



Sup, Rob?!

[Bodzilla]

lmfao.

"serenity now"
THIS^

SERENITY NOW!!!!!1111

[Rob Oplawar]

Oh my science, I think I've discovered the most comforting and relaxing sound in the world-- the sound of my pocketwatch, pressed to my ear, quietly and precisely ticking the seconds away.

ahhhhhhh, I'm so relaxed right now. From now on, whenever I get angry or otherwise stressed out, I'll just grab my pocketwatch.

In fact, I think I might search for a clock to buy- it would have to be grandfather-clock-sized, in order to get the right relaxing period, and it would also have to be fairly quiet for a clock that size, but not too quiet, and it would have to NOT ring on the hour.

Some people find running water relaxing; I have just discovered that the ticking of a clock does it for me.

Each second the clock ticks away is another second I don't have to endure any more. One step at a time, closer and closer to the sweet warm embrace of the end of it all.

[Gamerkd16]

I wouldn't say running water from a faucet is relaxing, but rain outside can be. Especially when you turn off all noise, open your window, lay a pillow by it and just lay there and listen.

Really? Because, you know, most of the time that just drives people insane.

[p0lar_bear]

itt: Rob becomes an emo.

[Rob Oplawar]

all i need is to dye my hair black and slick it down and forward and i'm there. I have the thin black pants that are 3 sizes too small, i have the similarly undersized black hoodie, and i have a plethora of black shirts from hot topic.

nowait, i forget, is hot topic goth, or emo? must be goth. idk, it's been a long time since i was the type to shop there.

ohhh yeah, i'd have to shave my beard, too.
well, fuck that.

my chin would get cold.

[TeeKup]

Just dye your beard black.

[Rob Oplawar]

my beard is black. :O
